ISBN: 0553378589
Now, in Working With Emotional Intelligence, Goleman shows why emotional intelligence has become the new yardstick for success for CEOs and junior hires alike. Drawing on both unparalleled access to business leaders and in-depth research, he documents that star performance in every field depends more on emotional intelligence than IQ or technical skills. And the impact of emotional intelligence is even greater at the top of the leadership pyramid.

Suppose two missionaries arrive in a politically stable country at the same time. One says "The end is near," while the other doesn't preach anything so extreme. The winner--the one drawing the most converts--will be the one preaching doomsday. Why? Because he and his followers will devote more time and effort to proselytizing than their competitors. They pass along their sense of urgency so that the movement's growth resembles a bank account drawing compound interest. Doomsaying is not necessarily more appealing, but it is more effective as a replicator.
